Nightwish...

[gazinwales]

I've played the Colours In the Dark album 6 times in my car and it's surprisingly very good.
Though today my girlfriend told me to turn it off and put on Sabaton

Mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen states: "Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in NIGHTWISH on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film!"

The setlist reads as follows (DVD1):
01. Dark Chest Of Wonders
02. Wish I Had An Angel
03. She Is My Sin
04. Ghost River

HOLY CRAP

YES

A DVD WITH FLOOR

FUQ

[adace]

Bout time they put a DVD out. Can't wait!

[abydos]

I thought Ghost Love Score was the show closer. I can't imagine what would be worth following up Floor's outstanding last few minutes in that song. Just... this woman is unreal.

[cramx3]

Cool!  (although I am a bit surprised at the set list--I would have expected more from the new album).

Surprised as well, looks like they played a set of more older materiel.  I guess Floor did well with the old stuff so they might as well get a DVD with those songs on it.

[adace]

Ms. Floor Jansen is a keeper.

Also, we will be a six-piece band from now on, as Mr. Troy Donockley (uilleann pipes, low whistles, vocals) will become a full-time member of NIGHTWISH.

Originally we were going to wait until 2014 to make a decision about the future line-up of the band, but the past year has clearly shown us that Floor and Troy are perfect matching pieces to our puzzle, and we are really grateful of the bond that has grown between all of us. We love you guys.

Commented vocalist Floor Jansen: "Words cannot describe what I feel! This union is beyond everything and I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to continue this amazing journey with my new brothers! Once I had a dream…and this is it!!!"

Piper/whistleman, added vocalist Troy Donockley: "`Imaginaerum World Tour´was a revelation to me and in that time, I became aware of a growing unity and then, finally, a transcendence of all the usual nonsense that affects bands. A beautiful process. And since the idea, the musical dream that is NIGHTWISH has been a part of me since before I was born, I am delighted to officially sail into uncharted waters with my brothers and sister. Wondrous scenes Ahoy! "

The new line-up can be seen on the live / tour documentary DVD »Showtime, Storytime«, released on November 29th.

Great news! She's a fantastic singer and a perfect fit for the band. Can't wait for the DVD and the next album!

[Cyclopssss]

Fantastic news! 

[Mister Gold]

Terrific news! Floor is easily the best singer the band's had to date, so I can't wait to hear her on the next album (whenever that happens )!

[ariich]

Fantastic!

If they had chosen not to go with Floor and get someone else, I think the other person would have had a very hard time being accepted by fans.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

A singer that's doing the "windmill" on stage is definitly a keeper. 

[jingle.boy]

Fantastic!

If they had chosen not to go with Floor and get someone else, I think the other person would have had a very hard time being accepted by fans.

This.  Pretty much anyone else would've been a let down after having Floor.

Very much looking forward to the next album, and I definitely won't miss them on tour again.

[cramx3]

Great news, pretty cool they are keeping Troy as well. I always got the feeing from this tour that he would continue to play a part with Nightwish.

I've been waiting to preorder the DVD but I haven't seen in on amazon yet and it would cost a lot to get it from the Nightwish store.

[MetalMike06]

Awesome news! I expected it though; seems like they've always gotten incredibly positive feedback about Floor.

[bosk1]

Wait...what exactly does Troy play that warrants him being a full member of the band? 

But excellent news about Floor!  I never cared for most of her stuff before Nightwish, but she was made for this band.  Perfect fit.

Nightwish tends to not release specific things on Amazon unfortunately. I don't think their Imaginaerum movie is available on Amazon, for example. I have a feeling this won't be available either. I definitely agree that it is damn expensive on the official store.

[abydos]

Wait...what exactly does Troy play that warrants him being a full member of the band? 

Some sort of bells and folky whistles, I imagine they will be a more prominent part of their music as well. The guy will be also on the new Ayreon so we'll get to see what he can do.

[ColdFireYYZ]

While I'm not a huge fan of Nightwish, I'm pretty excited by this news. Floor is fantastic, and I like her more than Tarja and Annette.

Troy Donockley played on several Mostly Autumn albums (prog band with Celtic influences) and I enjoyed his contributions. Should be interesting to hear what he brings to Nightwish.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

AMAZING! FLOOR'S A KEEPER!

 

[Ruba]

I'm a Tarja man through and through, but Floor fits the band very well and is such a charming person.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Wait...what exactly does Troy play that warrants him being a full member of the band? 

Virtuoso whistle capabilities.

That'll be his solo section.

I saw a preorder for what was labelled as audio music for this but it says its 5 discs and priced like it so I'm hoping that they will have it. I'll check eBay when its released too.

[fadetoblackdude7]

This is great news. I can relax now 

[Cool Chris]

Whoa, wouldn't have thought it would happen.

That DVD/BR release looks good, but only an 85 minute set? I get that is was a festival, but still.

[aprilethereal]

Listening to Ghost Love Score right now. Damn.

[ariich]

Listening to a bit of Nightwish at the moment, and I still think that Beauty of the Beast is still their best song.

[cramx3]

I agree.

I agree.

Ghost Love Floor gives it a run for it's money, but still falls a bit short.

[aprilethereal]

Once and Dark Passion Play are the only Nightwish albums I own, and Once is really starting to grow on me now

Ghost Love Floor gives it a run for it's money

I loooove that version

[Shadow2222]

Please tell me that you have at least heard Imaginaerum? Fantastic album.

[aprilethereal]

It's on my never ending list of albums I want to buy

[Buddyhunter1]

I think Imaginaerum is incredibly dull, honestly...
